HD Fog Lamps
Anyone here install the HD Fog Lamps? I drilled up the engine guard today and did a fit check with the lights installed.
I'm gonna elimnate the cheesy push button switch that goes on the left control head and wire to the ACC switch on the fairing cap.
The instructions say to remove the fuel tank...really wish I could by-pass this step...Are there any work-arounds for this step?

RE: HD Fog Lamps
Just finsihed mine tonight as well...I broke out the schematic and found that I could wire in the lights at the ACC switch orange wire...power on; switch on...LIGHTS!!!
Really wasn't up to removing the tank for this MOD
I drilled up the engine guard earlier this morning and mounted the lights, hardest part was fishing the wires through.
Gotta say; these fog lights really look great with wires hidden.

RE: HD Fog Lamps
Here's the best pic's I could get...seems that all the chrome is a problem ONLY in pictures with flash.
The last JPG shows the wire routing thru the engine guard.

RE: HD Fog Lamps
The relay to my HD fog lights got water in it and doesn't work any longer. I have been to three dealers and no one can find a part number for it. Does anyone have an idea where to get the number...... Or if someone knows how to bypass the relay it that would be great also. I have it wired through my Acc Switch, but it still requires the relay to function.

Relay
An autoparts store that sell aftermarket light kits should have them in stock for less the $10.
There are only four (4) terminals to reconnect.
The Relay carries the higher current to the lights, thus saving on wire size and weight.
The Acc Switch goes to a hot lead, and allows the relay to "open" and allow the high current draw for the lights.
Get back with us if you need a diagrahm of how to hook up the relay.

RE: Relay
A couple of quick question as I have my Fog set for delivery next week.
1) Do you need to take off the Engine Guard prior to drilling.
2) What size hole was required for drilling. I had heard from a previous trend getting the wrong size for the hole put a real damper in the process.
